If you want to ask every entrepreneur what is the most important part of setting up a startup, they would very likely tell you that money is everything! But is this even true anymore? While budget does have its place, the vital component of setting up a company now is not necessarily piles and piles of cash in your business bank account. Now, it's possible to get a company up and running in a short space of time, with a few simple tools, not least of all, persistence.

But, with every person trying to start up a company on the side, what can you utilize that doesn't just get your business up and running, but also doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

Online Resources

This is got to be the big thing that is enticing anybody to be an entrepreneur these days. There are so many online resources available to you that you can get schooled in how to run a business in no time at all. There are websites like lynda.com that give you handy tutorials in almost anything business and entrepreneur-related. There are online degrees if you wanted to take your knowledge further. But also, not just in the entrepreneurial approach can you learn things, there are online tools you can use like on websitebuilders.com that can help you to set up a website, and, more importantly, for cheap! Modern education in business is very easily accessible now thanks to the internet. And yes, there are arguably too many resources, but if you pick the right ones, especially those that your business idols use, you will get an invaluable education in every aspect.

The Kindness Of Others

When starting up a business, it is par for the course that you will be asking for feedback left, right, and center. But, inevitably if you are looking for professional help, you have to pay for it. And this is where a budget can come in handy, but on the other hand, you can utilize what little budget you have for the more pressing tasks. This is where the freelancer culture comes into its own. There are various websites like Upwork, where you can find freelancers to complete certain tasks that you have no idea how to fix. The great thing about the freelancer culture is that, apart from the choice of workers you have at your disposal, just by looking at a few freelancer websites, it is expected that a job is temporary. By hiring people that are not looking for permanent work, but are there to complete a task, you will have a more focused individual, but while this means that you will not be able to take on that person permanently, it does mean that whatever needs doing right now can be done.

Budget is important in when setting up a company, but there are ways around the issue of money if you know where to look. If you can't afford an education, you can find one online, if you can't afford a full-time member of staff, hire a freelancer. It's these things that you can help to build up your business, and when the time comes that you do have the finances, you will be thankful that you knew how to press on without any money, meaning that you will value every cent that you earn.
